Talk:Mushroom
From MYSTlore
I got a lot of information from the DZS. It's not verbatim or anything, but if this is illegal, please delete the article. Also, should this really go in Category:Plants? Mushrooms aren't really plants, but Vesuvi Mushroom is in there. Gorobay 15:40, 31 October 2007 (CDT)
- I'm confused. Why did you create an article only to call it copyright infringement merely four minutes later? Chucker 15:42, 31 October 2007 (CDT)
- I created the article not knowing if it's copyright infringement. I don't think it is. As far as I know it's absolutely fine. But I'm not a copyright-law expert, so I wanted to make sure. Gorobay 15:51, 31 October 2007 (CDT)
- Such a grey area! According to copyright.gov, "ideas and discoveries are not protected by the copyright law." And really, isn't speculation about the nature of a video game world - a world which is already copyrighted by Cyan - almost purely "idea and discovery?" Additionally, your article is probably covered under "Fair Use." Its most likely sufficient just to reference and link to their excellent original article, which you did. And after all, we're all just dedicated fans here! No ones going to sue anyone else. --DedHed 08:39, 1 November 2007 (CDT)
